Taking Mandel's CFB tier hierarchy and applying it to College basketball
The difference between this list and Mandel's college football tier hierarchy version is I'm applying 66 teams, but not just from Power 5 conferences but the top 66 overall. Since college basketball is all-inclusive and P5 is more a college football term, I thought top 66 regardless of conference affiliation is appropriate. I did break it down to the same amount of teams per category as Mandel's college football version i.e. Kings (13), barons (11), knights (27), and peasants (15). I will admit I barely have BYU in the Knight category. I figured the 12th or 13th winningest team in college basketball should amount to something. Nevertheless, you be the judge if their is a peasant that is more deserving than BYU to be a knight. Not all of these are in any particular order and it is purely subjective. I'm more passionate about college basketball as a whole than college football, so I feel pretty confident about this list and I believe you will agree where most teams are slotted.
